Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

The two soon arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, where a waiter immediately came to greet them, saying warmly, "Four esteemed guests, please come in!"

"Four people?" Su Yang asked in confusion. He turned around and saw that Die'er and Linglong had appeared in human form at some point and were standing on either side of him. They had been on the run, so Su Yang didn't dare to let them appear easily. Even Xiao Ju and Xiao Shi Hua's movements were strictly restricted.

Lin Anlan noticed them too, turned around and smiled at the waiter, saying, "Let's sit on the first floor."

"Alright! Gentlemen, please take your seats in the main hall!" the waiter announced loudly, then led the group to their seats.

Upon entering the lobby, Su Yang couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so similar! It's incredibly similar!" Many lanterns hung from the ceiling, and to the left of the entrance was the counter, upon which sat numerous wine jars. In the center of the lobby were many square tables, each filled with guests. A staircase extended down from the second floor, while the area around the first floor, a step higher than the center, was also filled with square tables. Roughly counting, there were about seventeen or eighteen square tables on the first floor alone, suggesting that this restaurant must be quite large.

The group sat down at a square table in the corner, and the waiter asked, "What would you like to eat?"

"What are your signature dishes? How much do they cost?" Lin Anlan asked. She knew she didn't have much money left and was worried that the prices would be too high, since this restaurant seemed to be of a certain class.

"We have a lot of signature dishes. For meat dishes, there's stir-fried land horn beast, roasted grass-warming beast meat, dry pot green pig, and so on. For vegetarian dishes, there's fallen flower grass, wind gourd, and the like. The prices are also very reasonable. Signature meat dishes are two silver coins each, other meat dishes are one silver coin each, and vegetarian dishes are five copper coins each. What would you like to see?"

“I’ve eaten unicorns before, they’re not bad. Su Yang, how about we have a stir-fried unicorn and a dish of cauliflower? What do you think?” Lin Anlan asked Su Yang for his opinion.

"I'm fine with anything, but how about we add another meat dish? We've all been quite tired lately."

"Okay, then those two dishes I just mentioned, and you can just order any meat dish for the rest." Lin Anlan quickly placed her order with the waiter.

"Okay, wait a moment."

Su Yang looked around at the diners in the hall. Everyone was dressed simply. Some were eating quietly, while others were drinking and chatting. This scene was just like the food stalls in his original world, which made Su Yang miss his hometown.

"Die'er, Linglong, you must have been cooped up for a while now," Lin Anlan said, chatting casually with Die'er.

"It's nothing, just a special circumstance," Die'er said nonchalantly, resting her chin on her hands.

"Huh? Why didn't I see Jiuli?" Lin Anlan asked, puzzled. Since Die'er and Linglong had both appeared, why hadn't Jiuli come out?

"You mean that stubborn old man? He's long gone." Die'er said with a hint of schadenfreude. Jiuli was always at odds with her, but now that he's finally gone, no one will bother her anymore.

"Gone? Where did they go?" Lin Anlan looked at Su Yang in confusion, hoping he could answer her question.

"Maybe Jiuli is disappointed in me. Oh well, everyone has their own pursuits." Su Yang's tone didn't show any disappointment, as if he were describing something very ordinary.

Lin Anlan was completely confused, not understanding what had happened. Seeing her still puzzled look, Die'er explained, "Oh, she just couldn't stand us, so she left on her own. What else could it be? It's better that she left. Seeing her pretentious attitude makes me angry. She lectures me like an old man every day, as if she used to be some virtuous person. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be in this situation..."

Die'er stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, glancing at Su Yang before lowering her head and remaining silent. Lin Anlan, who was listening, was about to ask Die'er why she had suddenly fallen silent when the waiter came over with a bowl of vegetables and said, "Here you are, your order of fallen flower vegetables!"

As if seeing a savior, Die'er quickly called out, "Eat up! You two must be starving. Wow, this food smells so good!"

Su Yang knew that Die'er must be hiding something from him and didn't want him to know, but since she was unwilling to say, he wouldn't ask any more questions. Sometimes, if you ask someone about something they don't want you to know, it will only make them dislike you. This was something Su Yang had experienced firsthand.

So Su Yang picked up his chopsticks and was about to reach for the food, but as soon as the chopsticks touched the food, Su Yang froze for a moment, then withdrew his hand and stared blankly at the chopsticks in his hand.

"So there are places in this world that use chopsticks. I thought I was the only one who knew how to use them." In the island and the Principality of Paisen, he always used knives and forks when eating in restaurants, which made him think that people in this world did not use Chinese chopsticks. This made Su Yang feel a sense of goodwill towards the Tianyun Empire. Perhaps this is the emotional identification brought about by cultural identification.

After a satisfying meal, Lin Anlan paid the bill, and the four of them got up and left the restaurant. Su Yang had enjoyed the meal very much. He was satisfied with everything, from the dishes to the dining environment and the atmosphere. The only downside was that he still didn't get to eat the rice he had been longing for, which was a little regrettable, but he was still very content.

The group strolled through the streets at night. Jiahe City was just a small border town with few entertainment options. They were on the main street, the busiest part of the city. Once they left the main street, it became much quieter. Along the way, none of the shops were closed, a stark contrast to the Principality of Paisen. In the Principality, although people rarely went out at night, most shops, except for restaurants, closed early.

Each shop had a large red lantern hanging in front of it. Although the types of shops were not much different from those in the principality, the things sold inside were quite different. For example, the clothing store that Lin Anlan had brought him to had clothes that were basically similar in style to Hanfu, but most of them were very simple and far less ornate.

“We should change our clothes too. Now that we’re in the Heavenly Fortune Empire, we should wear clothes like these.” Lin Anlan said to herself as she held up the clothes to Su Yang. This scene reminded Su Yang of when his mother bought him new clothes when he was a child. For a moment, he was in a daze and stared at Lin Anlan.

Her hair was now piled up, with a few unruly strands falling from her temples. Her lively eyes followed her expressions, and the small, jet-black horns on her head resembled a pair of hair ornaments. Her skin, which had been slightly rough, had regained its rosy hue after her seclusion, and her hands had returned to their fair complexion. Su Yang was mesmerized by her beauty.

Just as Lin Anlan finished measuring a piece of clothing, she looked up and met Su Yang's gaze. After a moment of surprise, her pretty face flushed even more, and she said softly and coquettishly, "Why are you staring at me like that..."

"Oh... um, cough um." Caught off guard, Su Yang was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say, so he changed the subject and said, "This dress should fit well, let's buy this one."

"Well, we should at least try it on. I can't just take your measurements and buy it right away. What if it doesn't fit? I... don't know your size..." Lin Anlan's voice trailed off as she spoke, and finally she turned her back to Su Yang and let him try on the clothes.

Even if Su Yang was slow-witted, he could tell what the atmosphere was like. So he silently took the clothes to try them on, and came out after a short while, saying, "They fit well. I'll take this one. What about yours?"

"Mine is here, I've already made my choice."

Then the clothing store owner came over and asked with a smile, "Have you two made your choices?"

"Yes, how much, boss?"

There are seven silver coins in total.

After paying, the group left the clothing store and continued strolling on the street. Although the city was small, the bustling crowd gave them a sense of tranquility.
